its merits with much sound reasoning and
some convincing statistics.

The morbid curiosity of mankind. so often
commented on, was conspicuously illustrated
yesterday by the crowds Of people that flockeed
TO Railway to gaze on the unknown woman who
was murdered there ten days ago, and to visit the
scene of the crime. Thousands Of men, women
and children were there. Yet unpleasant as it
is to see crowds travelling TO Railway for this
purpose, it is only fair to say that therein lies
the best if not the only, chance Of identifying
the unfortunate woman. If some one in the
vast throng docs not recognize her, it is not
likely that her name will ever he known, Tor
the detectives seem entirely discounted. But
would any one have supposed that so fricndless
a woman as this poor creature was could have

THE B1UW1y MYSTERY.

Time passes and the Railway murder remains
a. dark a mystery as On the day of lis dis
covery. AT present there appears 10 be serious
danger that all further efforts TO trace The
crime NAV he Laillcd through the natural decay
of the body. 1t Is 70 lie feared that 1T Is now
too late 10 make use Of any thorough cmbalm
ing process. and yet it should have been obvious
that preservation Of tho features at least was
almost indispensable to any intelligent dlsposi
ton Of the case. Should IL become necessary
TO bury the remains before identification has
been had the prospects Of solving the mystery
will I've fainter than ever, and great crime is
liable TO 90 unpublished. In the mistaken at
tcmpts to identify the girl hitherto made there
is striking proof Of the carclcssncSs with which
people who may be living in close juXtaposltlon
observe one another Ono of the persons who
made sure that he knew the face had lived in
the same house with the girl he mistooL it for
during several months, and yet he was deceived
nv what does not appear to have been at all Il
close resemblance.
A good deal Of by no means amiablc human
nature has been brought TO the surface by the
investigation. one of the least lovely charac-
teristics being the readiness Of ncighbors 10
formulate the most injurious suspicious and
suggestions concerning one another. 1t is
quite surprising how many people are willing ia
believe on moments notice, and without "A
partice of evidence. that some acquaintance may
have committed the worst OF crimes; that ones
ncichbor is a professional assassin, and his wife
and children partalScrs in his guilt What
ever the outcome Of the present search, there
are sure TO he several serious fallings out in
Railway engcndcrcd by the catholclty Of the
prevalent accusations and inslnuatons. Many
of these have obviously been prcpostorous, but
they we're advanced none the less confidently
and the alleged ycarning to aid justice has, We
fear caused not little injustice TO DC done
Meantime no clcw TO the real murderer has been
found nor has The identity Of the victim been
discovered 1t begins TO look as though the
girl had been q stranger perhaps without rcla
dycs or friends in the country; for notwith
standing the number Of disappcarances con
stantly occurring. if she had had any friends
IL is difficult TO understand how they should
have rcfraincd from making any sign all this
time. The evidence that the girl was poor
throws some doubt on the theory that robbery
WAS the motive of the crime. Other circum
stances do not harmonic with the theory that
she was invciglcd TO her fate by some one who
had special motive for removing her. The
more the case is examined, indeed, the more
pcrplexing does it appear, and If the body is
once buried. there seems little chance that the
truth will ever be aSccrtancd
